...Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most famous and adored painters of all time.
His work, coupled with his life story, is heart wrenching to
me, which makes me appreciate and love him even more. Although we
can now look at his paintings and acknowledge the genius that they
are, and he was, Vincent never experienced admiration for his work
during his lifetime.
For a great, yet sad, take on Vincent Van Gogh, watch "Vincent and The
Doctor" (click here for the IMDb page) ...it's a Doctor Who episode that I think any Van Gogh
fan would appreciate, regardless if you are a Doctor Who fan or not.
And one of my favorite paintings of his, Cafe Terrace at Night, hangs in my bedroom...
And remember that lonely nail polish that I mentioned in my 'A' post? Yup, that's Van Gogh inspired too! And yes, part of the reason why I bought it was for the name, it's called, "Starry Starry Night".
And then there is this cool exhibit that I found while surfing the internet...
Who is your favorite artist, and do you own any of their works?
